We’ll have party favors, songs and activities for families in attendance.”
The celebrations will end with a huge birthday party for Dolly on Saturday.
“We are actually going to have a huge birthday bash for her on Saturday and we’re going to have live music from Sugar Free Allstars. The event is from 1:00 to 5:00 and it’s come and go, so drop in. We’ll have a face painter, cupcakes, music, stories and crafts.”
Harrison encouraged all eligible families to sign up for the Imagination Library program.
